---

you played the piano.

- I hardly ever play anymore.

- You play so well.

How do you do that

without looking at the music?

- My father was a musician.

I inherited everything

from him,

just as you did

from your father.

- I didn't inherit anything

from my father.

- Are you sure?

- I'll find another room.

It's wonderful here, Daddy.

- I wanted to show you

this place.

- It's so beautiful.

- It's always peaceful here.

- I've missed our walks

so much.

I thought I would never

see you again.

- Don't be so sad, Rebecca.

I'm always here.

- I love you, Daddy.

- Thank you for joining us,

Rebecca.

- I'm sorry.

- That's okay.

We're just talking

about CarmiIIa.

Now, with Carmilla,

we are looking at

one of the originators

of the Gothic tale,

20 years before Bram Stoker

wrote Dracula,

and I think it's fair to say,

it influenced him greatly.

All right, let's talk about

the character of Carmilla.

A mysterious stranger

comes from the West

and begins to take over

the narrator, Laura.

- "Sometimes

with gloating eyes,

"she drew me to her,

"and her hot lips

"traveled along

my cheeks in kisses,

"and she would whisper,

almost in sobs,

"'You are mine.

You shall be mine.

You and I are one forever.'"

- That lavender bath oil

feels so good.

- I know.

I can smell it from here.

- What are you reading?

- CarmiIIa.

It's for Mr. Davies' class.

- What's it about?

- Hey.

- You know,

it's Gothic fiction.

- You're burning red.

How do you stand such hot water

on your skin?

- We always take hot baths

before bedtime.

It's relaxing.

- So I've brought us

a list of verbs to conjugate.

Let's start with baden,

to bathe.

- Baden.

- Mm-hmm.

Beginnen.

- Beginnen.

I'll show you how far I got.

- "The vampire is prone

to be fascinated

"by particular persons.

"With an engrossing vehemence

resembling the passion of love,

"it will never desist until

it has satiated its passion

and drained the very life

of its coveted victim."

- Hello.

- Do you have a minute?

- Of course.

Here you go.

Please.

- Um, it's about Carmilla.

- Okay.

- If she's in love with Laura,

then why does she want

to destroy her?

- Well, I don't know

that she wants to destroy her.

She wants to control her.

The vampire's

a very lonely figure.

Carmilla wants a companion

in her existence.

She wants someone

to be all hers, forever.

- But why does Laura want

to be friends with someone

who's so obviously evil?

- I suppose she's been

hypnotized in some way.

Remember, the vampire needs

the consent of the victim.

- The vampire needs

the victim's consent?

- Yes-

well, in a way.

Remember, in Dracula,

he can only enter

if the victim
